When the Buddha Shakyamuni passed into extinction, the term used was extinction, not death or died. This is because the fundamental teaching of life contains a state defined as Samsara; a temporary realm of the cycles of birth/death. This is the definition of moment to moment birth/death cycles as the perceptive timeline of Samsaric conditioned existence. There is nothing "beyond" or "before" or "after". There is no "soul" or "self" or any thing, remember the teaching of "Impermanence" and dependent origination.

Gday from Oz. Many thanks for your ongoing work. I have a question and I would appreciate your opinion, knowledge and understanding if you would. How would you explain the reality of young children born into horrific circumstances of abuse assuming they are too young to have created the karma to cause such a thing? Are we to believe in random chance as well as karma?
